These abstract works are the result of printing the surface of my ink palette after finishing printing. Insteading of scraping and wiping the remnants of the printing process away, I allow myself to create expressive lines and movements on the table. I then lay paper over the ink, capturing that moment. Each time I print, I create a new leftovers piece at the end of the process. This practice acts as a way of reflecting on what I have created and what more I can do next time.

Consisting of failed monotypes and collagraph prints, this small set of works comes from my first year at Federation University. When first engaging with a new medium, we artists always end up with a lot of practice pieces and dud works which are usually stored away or simply documented and tossed. These prints have been saved from their storage prison and through some creative reimagining, they have finally been completed to a point I am happy to put my name to.
